Sunflowers 5



Hasten slowly.
Augustus Caesar

My goodness there are a lot of pedals and leaves in this painting! I have gone over the entire painting twice now cleaning up lines, adding shadows and highlights. Each time I get close to finishing a "go-through" I start to speed up, resulting in work that I'm not happy with. It's going to take a lot of tightening up so each time I start again, I'm going to start in a new place. At the top is a detail of the corner that's gotten a little more attention than the rest ~ still a long, long way to go.
